Week 2, same result for Michigan.

Week 2, same result for Michigan

Oregon went in to the Big House and Bicth-slapped the Michigan Wolverines. As a Pac-10 honk, I love that. If you think about it, I-AA Appalachian state beat them last week. So is it really a surprise that a 19-Th ranked Pac-10 team with a great offense like Oregon beat them? I guess the week 1 result could have been an aberration for Michigan, but they did look slow and ordinary. All those doubts were confirmed this Saturday by Oregon. That QB from Oregon Dennis Dixon is a great athlete. Michigan had no answer to him. It's funny how the Wolverines stayed close at 7-11 after the first quarter and even led 7-3 at one point. The fans were jacked up, but the wind was sucked out of them when the Ducks started scoring at will in the second quarter. It was obvious even to the faithful that Michigan is just not good, nowhere near the 5-Th rank they started the year with. Proof number 1758 that the college football pre-season rankings suck.

There were a couple of other big name games that ended up being blowouts as well. Miami lost at Oklahoma 51-13. I almost had to make sure it was not Miami of Ohio when I saw that score. The U stands for un-watchable right now. Notre Dame got crushed again, this time by Penn State - 31-10. The Domers suck this season and I am not complaining. Auburn lost to South Florida 23-26. Another win for the small guys. I am beginning to love this year's college football. It's almost like the NCAA tournament with all these upsets in this pre-season. Texas A&M at 25 almost lost one to Fresno State. You know I am always pulling for the left-coast teams! But A&M pulled it out in triple OT 47-45.

The other laugher was at LSU as Va-Tech lost 7-48. I was not really surprised because Va-Tech didn't really look good last week. They are over-rated at 18. Cal, took a step back after looking awesome in week 1. May be they had a letdown after that Tennessee win. DeSean Jackson had another impressive run on a reverse for a TD, but Cal just won 34-28 against Colorado State. Cal better pick it up when they play the Pac-10 teams. The other close game was the Ole' ball coach and South Carolina at 17 beating Georgia at 23 on the road 16-12. I think College football can use more of a successful Steve Spurrier.

ASU gave me a scare with a 0-14 first quarter. I like the 33-14 final score much better. Thats impressive to shut Colorado out the rest of the way after Q1. Only bad news of the day was the Arizona wildcats winning against Northern Arizona.
